New BEDFORD, Mass, Feb. 1S.-The
gale to night was the worst seen since the
great storm of 1869. The damage is very
heavy, but is confined to the river front
where the wind ragged with great severity,
and shipping suffered in consequence.
Schooners were taken from their moorings,
crashed against wharves, and bowsprits
were twisted like matches. Telegraph
wires were snapped and broken. A
schooner which had broken away from the
island scraped the cars with her booms,
imperiling the lives of passengers. 1t is

for it The reason of the rapid advance at
this time is that it is known that many
manufactures, nail mills and roller mill

fought shy. Neither had the best of it.

was little ''groggy" when he came
up for the fourth round, but he
fought back and got in good
uppercut. La Blanche rushed him
hard, and knocked him off his feet. Frank
jumped up and stayed the round out with
out being hit again. In the fifth round
Frank fought close. He clinched several
times and took his seat without being much
the worse. La Blanche opened the sixth
and last round with a rush that showed he
meant to knock Frank out if possible.
Frank stood well and fought back. La
Blanche made a skillful feint and struck
him q terrible undercut with his left.
Frank survived and clinched, dodging some
well-aimed blows Of the Marine, and when
time was called, although badly winded,
had not much the worst of it. The crowd
yelled for another round. but Frank re-

all saloons will close tomorrow night and
